Quick Plum Sauce Chicken

Pardon my disappearing act as I've been really busy. School holidays started in late May and I've got 3 monsters at home 24/7. It is a chore to have them home, creating havoc and driving me up the wall. It is worst when I have to do marketing, imagine lugging 3 young kids to the supermarket. A simple 30 mins trip turned into an hour or more. Oh well, that's life. I choose to have 3 kids so I'm not complaining. Just have to grit my teeth for these few years. On a happier note, we have just returned from a 5 days trip to Malaysia :-)

Here's sharing a dish that my family likes, Plum Sauce Chicken. I've been cooking this quick and simple dish whenever I run out of ideas.

The meat is very tender and it taste great with plum sauce. However, DH doesn't appreciate the wine in it so I've reduced the quantity by 2/3. Feel free to add more wine if your family enjoys it.

For a thicken sauce, mix 1 tablespoon corn flour with 60ml water. Mix well and pour into the pot of chicken. Mix well and let it boil again to thicken the sauce. Turn off the fire and serve immediately.

I'm with you on that in 6 days lol. School will be out for summer then and all 3 will be at home. The difference here thankfully is that my husband does all of the shopping! Anyhoo, this recipe is definitely one my family will love, thanks for sharing!

Hi Blessed Homemaker,Can I know what brand of sour plum sauce you use?I just bought the Woh Hup one and realised it contains chili! Not sure if my kids will be able to take the bits of chili in it, but will be trying it out tonight anyway.
